Within magnetic thin films, conventional spin textures are stabilized by the interplay of competing magnetic interactions - direct exchange (A), magneto-crystalline anisotropy (K\(_\mathrm {eff}\) ) and magnetostatic energies - which compete to align spins in parallel, along crystallographic axes, or in the direction of the demagnetisation field, respectively. [1]} Meanwhile, chiral spin textures can be stabilized in heavy-metal (HM)/ferromagnet (FM) multilayer thin films with strong spin-orbit coupling and broken inversion symmetry, wherein its unique winding is attributed to an additional interfacial Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (D, DMI) - an energetic term that favours spin canting between magnetic moments.
